Detailed description

This is player model requested by Suicizer. I tried to avoid making the model 100% similar to original but use it as a reference. It is still in WIP stage but the model is ready. Please comment for improvement so that it will be as good as the other player model in the Sauer.

Update 11/03/2014
*scale down the tent
*added flag and hand
*rigged

Update 20/03/2014
*texture change
*animation idle, forward and dead
*weapon tag

Todo:
1. finish the rest of the animation

Install Instruction: Backup packages/models/ogro2 folder. Extract the camper.zip to your Sauer folder.

Note: I included the source in the folder for anyone. Only credit me if you make anything with those.

I'll upload the md3.cfg soon so you have a better indication how it used to move (as inspiration).

I'm still missing the flag and a hand which sticks out just a bit...

Edit:
A "working" version of the old model is right here.
Known bugs; it has no left or right animation as Quake 3 handles strafe animations differently than Cube Engine 2. Both attack animations are quite weird and not synchronously with the actual firing (I've never been able to fix that issue actually).
As the read-me files shows off; it doesn't seems like the original author cares a lot if it would be redistributed, not even when they aren't perfectly intact to it's original (but perhaps credit should be given). They can't be contacted either as I've tried so a long time ago while configuring the model for Sauerbraten.
That's why I would like to thank Scott A. Young and Brian 'balistic' Prince for this model.

I didn't notice the flag before. Does the original model has one or both hand?

I vote for the tent's fabric to move as part of the animation to make it look like the effect of wind.

As cool as sound, it is complicated so maybe I will do it in final version.

I had updated the node. It is still in WIP but you can run around and frag somebody.

I somehow can't. After downloading the model and replacing the ogro or even the ogro2 directory, it simply won't load the model (in 1 case, it loads a messed up version of ogro instead). I have also tried to load it from the ...\My Games\Sauerbraten directory, but that didn't work out well either.

Edit:
You forgot to add an iqm.cfg for the default playermodel...

After loading the model just in teamskins I noticed there's it has an open edge at the left side of the model.

Maybe some wooden pegs at each corner of the tent would make it look more fancy...

The model still needs to run faster (as in animation), but that's just a matter of iqmanim "forward" "camper_forward.iqm" 140 instead of 90 (and all other animations which represent moving legs). It also could move some more with the ankles while running.

The body parts of the model (legs, hands) looks good. Perhaps still a little too plain but so far, nice.

The model still needs a tag for the armour. Perhaps the flag on top of the tent is a good way to show off such thing.
It also needs a tag for the quad, but maybe even the animated crossing spheres within the quadsphere directory which still exists from back to the days the old ironsnout was running around within Sauerbraten (about 5 years ago). But they still serve their purpose way better than most marks on other playermodels (although not that realistic).
A better idea as tag for the quad is an addition to the painting at the sides; "Quad Camper" instead of "Camper". Just a small thought.

P.S.
Why did you actually specify each animation twice?

windastella | 2014-03-22 01:45

Sorry for the inconvenience. I should tested the package after zipping them. Fixed that.

About the broken edge, I think it was caused by the alpha in the texture, I had that a lot when exporting some of my other model to the engine and it can be fix by using .jpg file instead of .png. Your idea of wooden pegs, I think it was a nice suggestion and i will consider it.

The camper for now would be considered 20% complete for now and more thing need to be added to it.

I specify the animation twice because of "iqmanimpart". I want to make the upper part of the body to have different animation. I think the real question is why I specify all right? I should single out the animation the have the same priority when I finish.
